depends does the person you are attacking with the sword have a shotgun? becuase if they do you can die.. but its a matter of skill shotty takes more skill than sword but you can kill either one if you know how.. side step to the right when someone with the sword lunges at you and keep your distance with someone with a shotty
i agree with radical it really depends one what your going up against because the shotty is only better in certain situations but if you have both then id rather use the sword and just sneak around.
lol i have a simple answer to this.....host shotty BEATS everything....noobs use Sword because it takes no skill.....and regualar shotty is most powerful thing in the game in my opinion because a shot with it then a melee is a one hit kill....so Shotty is much better i think
Both are for noobs no skill needed for either, unless you can swipe bounce between people with the sword that takes a bit of skill, but they both are cheap ways of getting kills!!
Sword is the best because you can ambush several players assasinate sevearal players and kill them in one lunge whereas a shotgun if u miss slightly takes more effort to kill the team and you cannot lunge with it.
Hell yeh the sword gets cheap kills but if your winning who really cares to be honest
only certain people can do tht because timing is everything in tht situation but swords have the lunge advantage so personally am still stickin with the sword
